Is THIS why your Landscape Photos aren't Sharp?

Thanks for watching Kenneth 👍

Another Great video Ian!!!!!!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much

[@ChrisPinCornwall]

Thanks for the great tips and superb photos. I suffer from neuropathy and my hands are not as steady as they were, so IBIS makes all the difference for me, especially as I'm shooting with an ancient Sony Alpha which is VERY heavy!

[@ian_worth]

Ibis sounds very helpful for you Chris 👍

[@radcoimbatore]

Beautiful shots and amazing comparisons on and off image stabilization. I love it buddy 💖 keep it up 👍 wishes from India 🇮🇳

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Radha 👍👍

I used to switch off IBIS for tripod shots with long exposures but now leave it on because I don’t think it makes any difference even with long exposures with a telephoto lens on a tripod. One of the main reasons I don’t switch it off when using a tripod is that I have forgotten to turn it back on when I really need it for handheld. Again, on a tripod I don’t think having IBIS on with long exposures is a problem. It might even be of benefit when a slight breeze is blowing.

Thanks Ian, very informative video. My own observations are that with the 10-24 and 16-55 leaving ois ( Xt3 so lens only ) on by mistake makes no visible difference to the sharpness at the wider ends but with the 50-140 and 100-400 at the longer ends I now leave ois on even on a still day on a tripod as I do get sharper images. Often though I take both just to make sure...

[@ian_worth]

Same here Andrew, thanks for sharing your info, very helpful 👍👍

Thanks Ian for sharing your experience with great results & comments....I don't have IBIS on my camera but I can see some benefits with long lenses... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊

Thanks for watching Robert. Where abouts are you in OZ?

My camera doesn't have IBIS, it's definitely my actual body image stabilisation that's broken 😆

[@ian_worth]

🤣🤣👍👍

[@dan.allen.digital]

I know one thing is for certain, when I put my Fuji on my motorized star tracker mount, definitely turn off IBIS. Nice video Ian.

[@ian_worth]

I would love to have a go on a star tracker 👍👍 I'm of on an astro mission tonight, clear sky permitting 👍

[@dan.allen.digital]

@@ian_worth good luck! I've been using the viltrox 13mm 1.4 you have at between f2 and f2.8. focus for stars on mine is between the FT marker on the focus scale on the screen not at the infinity marker. 13 seconds seems to be the sweet spot for exposure on that lens for astro

[@ian_worth]

@@dan.allen.digital yeah, mine is the same 👍👍f2 13 seconds is a great starting point

Hi Ian I have an HS-2 and the Tamron 18-300 and have to say that I’m extremely disappointed with the sharpness of this lens. I’ve tried everything I know to get the best results including IBIS on off tripod and hand held, plenty of different ISO variations etc but still can’t get really sharp images. My previous lens was the Tamron 18-135 which gave me much better results. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Ed

[@ian_worth]

Hi Ed, I had the 18-300 Tamron for about 6 weeks and sold it, I had the same problem, my images were very soft in comparison to my native fuji glass 👍

[@relaxingappalachia503]

luckily for nature photography, if it's a nice and sunny day shutter speed will be fast enough for handheld anyways. I'm very glad that someone made a video comparing though because I was on the fence about trading my gear for more stability. It would have cost me a lot so now I know I can just wait xD I have the Sony a7 right now. I'm disappointed with the in-camera jpeg options available, but honestly, shooting raw is really the way to go. There are hundreds of software available for processing photos. I tend to use LR on my phone mostly because the screen is more accurate with colors than my little laptop haha. Eventually, I'll have everything I need.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, the most important thing is to get out there and shoot with whatever gear you have and enjoy the landscape 👍🙏🙏

[@tonys3112]

Ian I have same tripod head as you, infact brought it after you did a review. My question is this ....does yours have any slack esp in the top part once I shift left or right it goes away. Cant find out how to tighten ....cheers Tony

[@ian_worth]

Hi Tony, no slack in my copy, i think there's a few screws that you can tighten if you have a good look around it 👍

[@mwhennaz]

I performed the same experiment with the Nikon Z7ii on a tripod and could not detect any difference. As a result, I leave it on all the time.

[@ian_worth]

Awesome, I'm thinking the same 👍👍

[@davidskinner274]

Hi, Ian. Clarified a couple of points. As I use 2 secs, I am inclined to turn it off. What are your thoughts with image stability on lenses? Questions are off on camera and on on the lens,, or visa versa? Also hand held. What about both off on tripod? So many questions 🤔

[@ian_worth]

I think i'm just going to leave it on all of the time apart from long exposures 👍

[@steveh1273]

Longer than 2 seconds, turn IBIS off? Seems like longer exposures would benefit with it on if shorter ones do.

[@ian_worth]

During a long exposure, it's possible that the ibis mechanism will move the sensor resulting in a soft image, so its best to turn ibis & ois off

[@lphilpot01]

My IBIS is permanently off, if you know what I mean. LOL And the one lens I have with IS (Canon EF 70-300 IS) I'm replacing with a non-IS 70-200 L. So there... 😀 Great video!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Len 👍👍

[@johnnykempo]

Do you think the xt-5 has upped your quality dramatically and if so in what way? What bracket do you have? The flippy out screen was one thing that puts me off 🙄

[@ian_worth]

I've got the x-h2 but similar to the xt5. I made an l bracket out of spare parts i had lying around which works well. There's a short in my archives that shows how i did it. In terms of the camera its self i did a review on it which you can watch here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHnQhYx5e8mhhaM 👍👍

[@johnnykempo]

@@ian_worth thanks and sorry I got that wrong!

[@maze400]

Seems to me IBIS (and VR) in general are useful for handheld photos but when you use a tripod there is no need. Unless you drop your exposure that is.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Michael 👍👍

[@waltervermeiren6860]

I leave the IBIS always on(even withe ICM)...

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Walter 👍

[@nguyetduong-r3c]

good

[@ronaldmoravec2692]

I have had IBIS blur handheld photos. Test yourself. Learn to hold the camera like a pistol or rifle.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy 👍
